UPDATE: Giants sign Mundy

The New York Giants are bringing in former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Mundy in for a free a free agent visit on Thursday.

According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, Mundy was scheduled to arrive in New York Wednesday night and visit with the Giants on Thursday.

Mundy has only started five games in four seasons for the Steelers and is likely a backup option for the Giants. New York already appears set at safety with Antrel Rolle and Stevie Brown (who has been offered a second-round tender as a restricted free agent) expected to be the starters next season. Kenny Phillips is an unrestricted free agent.

A year ago, the Giants quietly signed a young, unknown safety named Stevie Brown during their offseason, knowing that he'd contribute as a special teams player and hoping that he might be able to do a little bit more. That safety went on to make eight interceptions during the regular season, emerging as a force.

And this offseason, the Giants have made a similar move. The latest signing of Big Blue's not-so-blockbuster March came Thursday, as the Giants announced the signing of ex-Steeler Ryan Mundy, a 28-year-old safety.

Details of Mundy's contract were not immediately known, but his resume is hardly glowing. He played all 16 games in each of the last four seasons, but he rarely started. He did make 39 tackles last season, though, and should almost certainly contribute on special teams.
